Port Arthur High School Reunion
What do you think about your town since you`ve left and come back ?
It`s fantastic! I was across the river from the club last night, I never had
more fun in my life! Except sometimes in California I have more fun.
Do you plan to come back soon ?
Oh ? Er, er, er, I have no immediate plans, ha ha ha!!
Did you entertain in high school, at the high school, when you went back at the
high school ?
Only when I walked down the aisles, man. No, I did, no, I was, er, I was a
painter, and a sort of a recluse in high school. I`ve changed.
What happened ?
I got liberated! I don`t know, I just started to sing and singing makes you
want to come out because painting, I feel, keeps you inside, you know ? And
once you start singing you just sort of want too talk to people more and go out
more and, you know, your lifestyle`s becomes more a come-out, flow-out thing
instead of a hold-it-and-be-quiet type.
How were you different from your schoolmates when you were a teenager ?
I don`t know, why don`t you ask them ?
Did they make you different ?
No.
Otherwise were you different in comparison with them, or were you ?
I felt apart from them.
Did you take a part in football games ?
I think not. I didn`t go to the high school prom, and er ...
Oh, you were asked, weren`t you ?
No, I wasn`t. I don`t think, I don`t think they wanted to take me. Till I`ll be
a hundred and sufferin`! It`s enough to make you wanna sing the blues! |
